Mr. Penguin and The Lost Treasure is the first book in a new series by Alex T. Smith, with lashings of slapstick humour, mystery and an adorable new hero, a detective and Professional Adventurer with a difference – Indiana Jones meets Hercule Poirot!
The highly illustrated Mr. Penguin and the Lost Treasure, published by Hodder Children’s Books, tells the story of Mr. Penguin and Colin (a spider and Mr. Penguin’s silent right hand man). With his dashing hat, and packed lunch of fish finger sandwiches ready, Mr. Penguin is very keen… So when Boudicca Bones, owner of the Museum of Extraordinary Objects calls for help, he and Colin spring into action to find the missing treasure that her great-great-great-gransfather buried somewhere in the museum. Without the treasure, the museum will fall to pieces and all will be lost! Mr. Penguin is so excited about the quest, his flippers are all of a quiver – but he and Colin must risk life and limb, solving secret codes and fighting ferocious beasts as they travel deep below the museum to a lost jungle…
